CHURN-DASIIER.

T0 all 107mm it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES B. MELL0R, a eitizen of the Unite l States, residinp; at Baltimore, in the State o1 1\larylanrhhave invented oertain new aml uselul lmprove ments in Churn-Dashers, ol whieh the l'ollowing is a specifioation.

This invention relates to ehurns, an l more particularly to dashers therefor, and has for its objeot to provide a ehurn clasher Whieh will produee an agitation of the crea1n in a specifie manner, tending to more quickly an l eompletely reduee the oream to butter.

A partieular objeet is to provide a ehurn dasher Whi0h Will procluoe eounter eurrents in the eream, thus bringing' about the desirecl results.

Another objeet is to provide a lasher whioh Will be simple and Which may be oonstructed at a relatively low figure.

I am well aware of the fact that dashers' having slante(l arms such as those employed in my present eonstruction have already been used, and I have myself obtainecl a patent numberecl 110487 (lated Deeember 27, 1870, embodying the basie prineiple of this strueture. My present application is directed toward a speeifie arrangement 0l' parts procluoing a definite agitation of the oream, whieh Will, as stated, tend t0 produee butter with a minimum expenditure et time and energy.

In the drawings forming a portion of this speoifieation, ancl in whieh lil e oharaeters of referenee indieate similar parts in the several views, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the present dasher. F:ig. 2 is a side elevation.

Referring now to the drawings, the present clasher eomprises a vertioally clisposed stoek 5, having a foot-pin 6 at its lower encl .for engagement in the soeket in the bottom of a ehurn 0f the usual type. Formecl in one sicle faoe A of the stook, adjacent t0 the lower end thereof, the1e is a transverse recess 7 whieh receives a transversely extending arm 8, whieh projeets oppesitely beyoncl the stook and whieh has halvecl against its end portions acljacent to its extremities, a pair 01 upwardly extendihg and outwarclly inelined arms 9 provided with openings 10. As Wlll be seen, the arm 8 has its extreme onter ends disposed in a vertical line with the upper ends of the arms 9, the outer ends of the arm 8 being bevele l upwarclly and inwar lly as shown at 8.

A transverse reeess C is formed in one sirle Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed March 23, 1909.

Patented June 22, 1909.

Seria1No. 185,280.

l'aee D 0f the stook, the si le faee D heilig loeated at right angles t0 the laee A. This reeess C is located in a horizontal plane hetween the upper extremities ol" the arms 9, and seeured in the recess C, there is a secon l transversely oxtemling arm 11, whieh thus lies at right angles to the arm 8. A pair ol' downwar lly aml outwarrlly lirected diagonal arms 12 are halve l against the opposite end portions ol the arm 11, in a manner similar t0 the attaehment 0f the arms 9 with the arm 8. These arms 12 are provide l With openings 13, an l the arms 12 extend downwardly to lie with their lower ends approximately in a plane with the arm 8, tho arm 11 lying in a similar position with respeet to the upper ends 0f the arms 9 as shown.

\Vhen the stook is revolve l it will be seen that the arms 12 and 9 will move through the same eirele of motion, but the arms being oppositely slanted, an l being attached at opposite ends, Will form direet counter-eurrents, the arms 9 forming upwardly direeted eurrents, While the arms 12 form downwardly direeted ourrents. At the same time, the arms 11 anrl 8 Will oause agitation of the oream horizontally, thus breaking up and terminating the upwardly and downwardly lirected eurrents forme l by the inolined arms 9 and 12.

The outer en ls of the arm 11 are beveled similarly t0 but oppositely to the beveling of the arm S, and the outermost extremities of the arm 11 are loeated in vertieal planes with the lower ends of the corresponding arms 12. It will be understood that these extremities just olear the inner surlace of a ehurn bo ly within which tl1e dasher is used, thus insuring agitation of the cream at all points within the chu1n.

What is claimed is:

l. A ehurn oomprising a vertically (lisposed stock, oppositely dispose l transverse arms secured t0 the stook in vertical spaced relation, said arms extending oppositely beyond the stoek, an l a pair of supplemental arms carried by oaeh of the transverse arms one adj aeent to eaeh end thereof, the supplemental arms of the upper transverse arm being extended downwardly and outwardly, and the supplemental arms of the lower transverse arm being extended upwardly and outwardly, the upper ends of the secon l named supplemental arms lying in a common horizontal plane with the upper transverse arm, and tl1o lower ends of the first named supplemental arms lying in a common horizontal plane Wil1 tl1e lower transverse arm.

2. A churn comprising a veruically lis posed stock, oppositely clisposed transverse arms secured t0 the stock in vertieal s aced relation, seid arms extencling opposite y beyond the stock, ancl a pair 0f supplemental arms carried by each of the transverse arms one adjacent to each encl tl1ereof, tl1e supple mental arme of the upper transverse arm being extencled downwardly and outwardly, ancl the supplemental arme 0f the l0wer transverse arm being extended upwar lly und outwarclly, the upper ende 0f tl1e second namecl supplemental a1ms lying in a common horizontal plane with the upper transverse arm, ancl the lower ends 0f the first namecl supplemental arms lying in a common horizontal plane with tl1e lower transverse arm, said transverse arms extending ab their extremities outwardly beyond the supplemental arms and lying with their extreme outer portions in eommon vertieal planes with the free encls 0f their respective supplemental arms.

In testimony w hereof I affix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
